Diogo Mónica, 38 anos, nasceu nos EUA, regressou a Portugal, formou-se no Técnico e regressou aos EUA, para funda a Anchorage Digital, um banco de gestão de ativos digitais como a bitcoin ou as chamadas 'stable coins', regulado e sujeito às regras das autoridades de supervisão nos EUA e já hoje com grandes bancos de investimento globais como acionista. Muito crítico da Europa, do excesso de regulação que põe em causa a inovação. "Somos muito bons a fazer relatórios na Europa" e há uma enorme aversão ao risco. É o convidado do podcast O Mistério das Finanças, com Pedro Santos Guerreiro e António Costa. "Os americanos olham para a Europa como um museu, não é o sítio para se investir e trabalhar, é o sítio para vir de férias".

Lex chats with Nassim Eddequiouaq and Riyaz Faizullabhoy - Co-Founders of Bastion - a transaction and Web 3 orchestration company that aims to provide infrastructure for businesses to build user-friendly experiences on top of blockchain technology. The founders, Nas and Riyaz, have a background in security and have worked together for several years at companies like Docker, Anchorage, and Facebook. They believe that custodial wallets offer the best user experience and are focused on building a platform that allows businesses to issue wallets seamlessly to their users. Bastion also offers a smart transaction routing system that optimizes transactions and reduces costs. Both Nas and Riyaz see custodial services as a starting point for users, with the goal of eventually allowing them to graduate to self-custody. They emphasize the importance of security, compliance, and user experience in their platform. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Bastion's Website: https://bit.ly/3M8B6wbNassim's LinkedIn profile: https://bit.ly/46UYe9gRiyaz's LinkedIn profile: https://bit.ly/3M5UGJi Topics: crypto, payments, custody, Web3, Web2, cybersecurity, decentralization, wallets, user experience, security Companies: Bastion, Libra, Meta, Andreessen Horowitz, a16z, Docker, Anchorage Digital, Facebook ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

CJ Jouhal, Head of Engineering at Anchorage Digital CJ has led engineering teams as a CTO or head of engineering for more than 20 years. In this episode, we get vulnerable and dig into the major decisions in his life that made him the technical leader he is today, diving into nearly every high and low point in his career. CJ recalls how he decided to give up his comfortable job as a programmer at Lockheed Martin to join a startup. He then explains why it can be a curse when your startup gets acquired by a larger, more well-funded company and how a major promotion, which led him to manage a team of 400 engineers, was not as great as it might have seemed at the time. We explore what it means to be a leader, an executive, and a mentor to others and how it might differ as a software developer or technologist. Finally, CJ shares his advice about how to choose your career path and what it takes to become a CTO or c-suite executive. http://blindap.onelink.me/ttCg/ahseop15

In this episode, we chat with Diogo Monica and Nathan McCauley, the co-founders of Anchorage Digital. We discuss numerous topics, starting with their unique partnership and what they learned from working together at Square and Docker. We then dive into the founding story behind Anchorage Digital, the story of the initial seed round, and scaling the company to hundreds of people. Diogo and Nathan also share their thoughts on the value chain of crypto financial services, lessons from working with various protocols, and how they think about the "Build vs. Buy" tradeoff internally. We also discuss how fundraising differs for later stage rounds, what crypto VCs can help founders with, and general lessons from building one of the largest companies in crypto.

“What if we could do it better than anyone else in the ecosystem?” Nathan McCauley asked himself while co-founding Anchorage Digital, a unicorn assets platform that provides instantly settled key storage and custody—holding investments on behalf of investors—for digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Before starting this venture, he worked at financial services platform Square, where he performed what he called “financial security” for four years with his future Anchorage Digital co-founder Diogo Monica. There the two helped to design the digital card reader with Jack Dorsey. Wanting to learn more about the sales, marketing and development aspects of B2B business before starting their own company, he and Diogo joined Docker, a software platform that helps developers to build, run and share applications.  Nathan talks about working at Square with Jack Dorsey and Keith Rabois, their unique approaches to leadership, and what the experience at Docker was versus what he thought it was going to be. Brendan explains the problem with overindexing on opportunities to make what turn out to be largely unneeded products. Early on in his career, Nathan's managers constantly evaluated him as having “irrational optimism.” He later learned about the power of being paranoid.  Nathan started Anchorage because he wanted to build a culture, one in which his employees could find a purpose and enrich their lives. With this motivation still at the forefront, he spends a lot of time interviewing potential employees. He explains the key to finding the right people who align with the company's mission.  Quotes: “This idea of sitting around and waiting for good opportunities and then when you find them, putting everything into them. One of the things that would've happened if I decided to start a company just after Square is I would've probably gone after a smaller opportunity that wasn't as high leverage as Anchorage. And so I'm extremely grateful for the patience aspect of it. In terms of waiting for the right opportunity, that was a good fit for mine and my co-founders' skillset. That's not to say that I didn't learn a ton from Docker. I actually did learn a ton from Docker too. But it's kind of a dual purpose of learning a lot, learning about enterprise sales, learning about marketing, but also not jumping into something that was not as big of an opportunity as it possibly could have been.” (24:29-25:18 | Nathan)  “We had this idea of a very secure system without a problem that actually needed solving that way, the custody problem coming along was almost this conceptual model of an idea of a very secure system that finally had a use case that we could build towards. So the answer to that ends up being that we had a very clear product vision very early on what needed to get built,  but we did not want to build an mvp. because we knew the very nature of the product was likely to hold non-trivial amounts of funds very early on. We didn't want to do anything less than good enough in the first version.” (29:44-30:27 | Nathan)  “The most useful outlet for fear is to keep innovating.” (35:46-35:50 | Nathan) Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandell TikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926    Connect with Nathan McCauley: Anchorage.com nathan@anchorage.com Check out Nathan's recommended books:   Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points that Challenge Every Company by Andrew S.

As the first federally chartered cryptocurrency bank, Anchorage Digital is providing authentication and hardware modules for storing and securing digital assets for banks, venture capital firms, fintechs and governments. In this Tech Disruptors podcast episode, Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Mandeep Singh takes a deep-dive look into the current state of the crypto market with Anchor Digital's cofounder Diogo Monica, who also discusses the effect FTX's saga has had on the pace of new use-case deployment of blockchain technologies.

Operation Choke Point was an Obama-era initiative that put political pressure on banks and financial institutions to deny service to out-of-favor industries. Something similar is happening again with intense pressure being exerted for banks not to service the crypto industry. On this first part of a two-episode special, NLW looks at what's happening, as well as the key recent history of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the U.S.' main banking regulator.  CORRECTION NOTE: At the 4:18 mark, NLW states: “At present there are two outstanding applications for licenses to operate national trust banks from Anchorage and Paxos, and these applications appear likely to be rejected by the OCC.” This was a mis-statement. Anchorage Digital is the only operational OCC-chartered digital asset bank, with their charter was approved by the OCC in January 2021. Paxos and Protego are the outstanding applications.

Diogo Mónica is the co-founder and president of Anchorage Digital, the premier digital asset platform for institutions. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the Técnico Lisboa, and has worked in software security for over 15 years. As an early employee at Square, he helped build security architecture that now moves $100 billion annually. At Docker, he helped secure core infrastructure used in global banks, governments and the three largest cloud providers. In 2017, he co-founded Anchorage, the first-ever federally chartered digital asset bank.

It's likely that laws and regulation will be enacted in 2023 that will rein in cryptocurrency-related companies and banks' involvement with such companies. Georgia Quinn, general counsel, and Rachel Anderika, chief risk officer at Anchorage Digital, share the rules they think should apply.

USDC issuer Circle has abandoned its plan to go public via a “special purpose acquisition company” merger with Concorde Acquisition Corp, which is led by former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond.

Genesis, crypto's largest lender, just froze withdrawals and new loan orginations. Would a Genesis collapse have wider impacts than FTX's demise? Genesis sits at the direct center of crypto capital markets. They custody funds. They help institutions earn yield. They are the yield product for CeFi platforms. Genesis touches almost everything...

Banks and other institutions looking to enter the crypto space want security and regulation. Anchorage Digital offers both. Anchorage is the first federally chartered crypto bank and offers institutions custody, staking, governance, trading and financing solutions for digital assets. Jennifer Liu, Anchorage Digital's head of lending, talks with Bryan and Becca about what Anchorage does and how she envisions the future of finance.

In a surprise move last night, Coinbase announced it would be filing an amicus brief to join Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP, in its lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It's a big swing from one of the world's largest exchanges, and it could have serious ripple effects (pun intended) across the industry. Elaine Ly and Ash Bennington dig into the XRP-and-Coinbase news at the top of today's show. Then, Elaine and Ash turn their attention to another surprising story about regulation: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce had some tough words for her boss and the SEC itself, as she expressed her frustrations with the securities watchdog's practices with regard to crypto. And Ash welcomes Georgia Quinn, the general counsel at Anchorage Digital, for insight on these developments and the impact of midterm elections on the regulatory landscape.

The price of Dogecoin doubled over the weekend, a roundabout consequence of Elon Musk finally closing a deal to buy Twitter. At the top of today's Real Vision Crypto Daily Briefing, Nico Brugge and Ash Bennington discuss the “Dogefather effect” and the future of what was once a joke cryptocurrency in the “Chief Twit” era. Also on the agenda are Apollo Global Management's partnership with Anchorage Digital, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's warning about institutional adoption of crypto, and a fresh lawsuit for Terra co-founder Do Kwon.

Despite the rapid pace at which the crypto market is growing, it is still a relatively new asset class prone to volatility. Dialogues on the need for regulation have been generating buzz recently with the most major ones being how unregulated it is and potential security risks with it being an attractive target for hackers.  Diogo Mónica, Co-Founder and President, Anchorage Digital shares more with us on the importance of a security-first approach in mitigating risks in crypto investing.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Few others' experiences and career path have left them so destined to found their business, with Andreessen Horowitz General Partner Chris Dixon coining “perfect founder-market fit” to describe him, than this week's guest, Diogo Monica, Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital. With a resume boasting a PhD in Network Security, working as an early employee at Square, and rounding out his skill-set at Docker, Diogo's rise to the top has been meteoric. Diogo is now in charge of a leading crypto custodial player that has raised upwards of $450m from the likes of KKR, A16Z, Visa, PayPal and Goldman Sachs.

On this Episode, I talk with my friend Dimitri, a fellow Anthony Pompliano Crypto Academy alumni about selling crypto to institutions. Anchorage Digital is the first cryptocurrency company to receive a federal bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Dimitri discusses Anchorage's lines of business that span custody, trading, financing, staking, and governance. He also discusses how Anchorage helped Visa buy a cryptopunk. We also talk about the differences surrounding regulation and centralization, why institutional adoption is good for individuals and how to explain crypto custody at a dinner party.

Today's final episode of Crypto for Institutions 2 is a special Sponsor Insight from Anchorage Digital. Diogo Monica is the Co-Founder and President of Anchorage, the first federally chartered digital bank. Our conversation covers Diogo's uniquely qualified background for his role, the importance and implementation of digital asset custody, and Anchorage's client-driven extensions from custody into brokerage, lending, staking, and governance. We close covering the creation of the bank, partnerships with Visa, and what's next for the company and its clients. Be sure to stick around for the closing questions to hear Diogo's perspective on exceptional hiring practices for startups. We are incredibly grateful to Anchorage Digital for sponsoring Crypto for Institutions 2, and are eager to highlight their value to the investment community.

Safe custody is the crucial service for crypto-currency investors. The theft, loss or destruction of the unique private keys to the digital wallets in which cryptocurrencies are held is irreversible and – unlike conventional cash deposits - they are not insured by any commercial provider or guaranteed by any government or government agency. Data analytics firm Chainalysis estimates that a fifth of all Bitcoins ever mined (or somewhere between 2.78 and 3.79 million of them, worth over US$200 billion) are now lost. Losses to hacks (such as the US$97 million stolen from Liquid Exchange in October 2021, the US$200 million stolen from Bitmart in December 2021, the US$320 million lost via the Wormhole bridge in February 2022 and the record US$624 million taken from the Ronin Network in March 2022) remain disturbingly frequent. Although some retail investors have ignored these risks, institutional investors cannot. These facts alone explain the two distinct surges in the foundation of digital asset custodians. The first was at the height of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) boom and early crypto-currency exchange hacks in 2017-18, when no less than 65 specialist custodians were founded, including well-recognised brands such as Copper, Fidelity Digital Assets, HEX Trust, Komainu and Propine and leading custody technology vendors such as Fireblocks. The second boom occurred in 2021, as the first institutional investors such as Ruffer and MassMutual invested in crypto-currency. The two biggest global custodians in the world, BNY Mellon and State Street, found themselves pressed by watching buy-side clients to provide a crypto-currency custody service. A further impetus to invest was imparted by the leading crypto-currency exchanges, which launched independent, institutional grade and (most importantly) regulated custody services. Coinbase, for example, has established an independently capitalised institutional custody business (Coinbase Trust Company) that is regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). A third threat to the established custodians has come from specialist, independent, regulated, institutional grade custodians such as HEX Trust, Komainu, Standard Custody & Trust and Anchorage Digital. According to Blockdata, another US$1 billion of venture capital money was invested in digital asset custody businesses in 2021, taking the total raised since 2017 to US$4.6 billion. In its most recent fund-raising, technology vendor Fireblocks was valued at US$8 billion. In its last fund-raising, Copper was valued at US$3 billion. In a low margin business, these valuations indicate high growth expectations, and global custodian banks and central securities depositories (CSDs) are right to be concerned that they might be disrupted or even bypassed. That concern ought to become acute if the crypto-currency boom is followed by an equivalent boom in security tokens, though there are at present plenty of bystanders. London-based token exchange Archax is building its own CSD because no existing CSD can meet the needs of its customers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the market for non-fungible tokens continues to court interest from mainstream corporates, investors, and celebrities, Anchorage co-founder Diogo Mónica reveals how his firm is managing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of these assets.  As Mónica explained during an interview on The Scoop with host Frank Chaparro, there are two main reasons he believes institutions are expressing interest in NFTs: “The first one is that it's free marketing. You buy an NFT or you do something in crypto and for a few hundred thousand dollars you get tens of millions of dollars of mainstream press. The second reason, which is probably the major reason for the ones who want to build products, is they want to try it out… if you're going to build a product in NFTs, you have to own one.” Indeed, institutional interest in developing NFT products is accelerating. This month alone, Softbank, Gamestop, and Instagram all announced NFT products slated for release in the near future. Still, Mónica noted that NFTs only represent a small portion of the digital assets of which Anchorage holds custody. “I would say it probably maps in the hundreds of millions. But the business is obviously measured in the tens of billions which makes it not significant enough yet." The core of Anchorage's business is its institutional custodian services, which have been growing since its inception in 2017. Last year, Anchorage became the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the US and has now expanded its operations to lending and trading services. One particularly interesting NFT play that aligns with this narrative was Visa's acquisition of a CryptoPunk NFT last summer, which Anchorage Digital helped to facilitate.
